This week's Come Follow Me study.
I checked RSC (rsc.byu.edu) and the Joseph Smith Papers (josephsmithpapers.org) first. While there were some general articles about the Old Testament, a more direct and relevant article from the Liahona magazine, an official Church publication, provided a better fit for this week's theme of trusting in the Lord during adversity as seen in 2 Chronicles.
An article titled "Finding Strength in Times of Adversity" from the June 2020 Liahona by Elder Jorge M. Alvarado of the Seventy discusses how trusting in the Lord can provide strength and deliverance during difficult times. He reminds us that trials are an inevitable part of life, but we can find peace and courage by turning to the Savior, Jesus Christ. Elder Alvarado emphasizes that our faith in Christ allows us to face challenges with hope and to receive divine help, echoing the experiences of figures like King Jehoshaphat who sought the Lord's guidance in battle. The full article can be found at: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/liahona/2020/06/finding-strength-in-times-of-adversity?lang=eng.
How might Elder Alvarado's emphasis on seeking the Savior's help directly relate to the actions of King Jehoshaphat, who, facing a vast army, proclaimed a fast and sought the Lord's direction, as recounted in 2 Chronicles 20?
Considering today's intention to actively choose Christ and seek His guidance in every decision, how might regularly turning to the Savior in our daily choices, both big and small, prepare us to receive strength when more significant adversities inevitably arise?
